Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it. You fought to keep Nigeria as one. Those that killed you in that bloody coup made you a hero, they gave you an Identity that is second to none. You invented the phrase "fellow Nigerians" which is used widely today even by the descendants of your killers. Your name shall ever remain in our history and your face shall always grace the hands of your enemies. 2 Likes |

Ahmadgani: I don't like hearing that we must be one.. I love the diverse culture of Nigerians...and I appreciate us a lot...but as a young and energetic , educated, Democratic and peace loving person...I detest the words 'we must be one' or celebrate anyone who fought to keep us one.. For godsake...what is wrong wit some of us? I met a retired military man who only kept bragging how he fought to keep us united..during civil war.. I simply asked him...he looked poor...I asked him..and what is the gain of being one oga mi? He looked at me...I said..sorry sorry...u are a taxi driver...after 35 years of service plus civil war fight and all the risks...someone somewhere might av swallowed ur entitlements..and u are here...what is the gain of the unity that u fought? He kept quiet and looker sober...I left... After 50 years...if we are still like this and some people still celebrate those who fought for our unity, I SMH for u all.. There is no pride in that...our leaders have cheated us badly.. 2 Likes |

Nigeria can never be good as long as we keep celebrating evil people.. All the failed coupist were killed and their history closed by Nigeria government but the succeeded ones are celebrated like some are calling this man a hero, rapist, murderer, coup plotter and so on a hero??.. No wonder corruption is growing in Nigeria because Nigeria honours succeeded corrupt politicians.. 1 Like |

Princedapace: I quite agree with you that our leaders have cheated and continue to embezzle funds meant for the physical and social development of our nation. However, if The ikemba of nnewi could be celebrated for a failed quest then I think it is not a crime to celebrate someone who has laid down his life for the unity of this country. Should we rather cast Murtala Muhammad for his selfless service? Fate has brought us together 'as one' but if we must part ways, so be it. After all most nations were built on the basis of blood, passion, honour and liberty. 1 Like |

He declared Friday a work-free, yet, He was killed on a Friday, brutally.. Ironically, during the massacre of Asaba, he protected PCK Nzeogwu's mother. He made sure no harm came to her.. Murtala was originally from Plateau State... |

Ahmadgani: Dont compare Ojukwu and Murtala Mohammed. Murtala was killing people long before Biafra or the war. Ojukwu was never involved in any coup that killed hundreds of people, Ojukwu never ordered the killing of innocent people. All Ojukwu did was fight a war of independence to free his people. Murtala Mohammed was a cold blooded murderer. 1 Like |

gidgiddy: you are a bad student of history! you need to study the events that took place before and after the 1966 bloody coup. I still repeat it! Ojukwu fought a fruitless war. Indeed ojukwu is a selfless visionary leader, but the truth is that he ran away when his people needed him most. |

Re: Murtala Mohammed's 78th Posthumous Birthday Is Today by gidgiddy: 6:06pm On Nov 08, 2016 |
Ahmadgani: What events are you talking about? Ojukwu was commanding Kano Garrison when the first coup occured. Nzeogwu phoned him and asked him to join the uprising, he refused. Contrast that to Murtala Mohammed that led a coup which killed over 300 officers, mostly from the Eastern Region. Ojukwu fought a war to free his people from Northern controlled Nigeria. Wether the war was fruitless or not is not the important thing. The important thing is why he did it. People fight wars of liberation all the time, America did it against Britain, Eitheria did against Ethiopia and so on. People fight to be free, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesnt as in the case of Ojukwu. However, Ojukwu fought a noble cause which his people appreciate. The fact that he lost is not as important as what he fought for. No pain, no gain. Murtala Mohammed only ever fought for his fellow Northerners to have control of Nigeria and have access to Oil and Sea port. 1 Like |
